The mountains fell, revealing a fertile plain stretching for thousands of miles. The snow melted into rivers, flowing into the area. The bronze stopped and became a huge mountain again, hidden under the forest.
Thus, people gathered together and five countries were formed.
Loran Hill sat in the audience, watching the battle between the blue bird and the giant mountain god on the high platform. The fiery red light and the green wind intertwined, and then the curtain fell and rose again, and the previous oil painting also changed.
The bluebird that originally sang loudly became haggard and covered with scars, sobbing and crying, and the branches and leaves in its mouth fell down. The red fruits were eaten by the mountain god, and the emerald branches and leaves turned into lush green forests all over the mountains.
The curtain on the stage slowly fell again, hiding the blue bird and the three-faced, six-armed giant once again, and then new mountain and tree signboards were slowly pushed in on both sides, and the ground was also sprinkled with golden light and shadows.
Later, pedestrians wearing simple coarse clothes came here with their families, and signs of houses and city walls were erected, and then wisps of smoke rose, and the place became prosperous.
This is the origin of the five countries between the Qi Mountains in the north of the Eastern Continent. They believe in the blue bird and respect it. They are good at dyeing clothes with indigo, grow up drinking water from the snow-capped mountains, fly on the mountain eagles, conquer the surrounding barren mountains and valleys, and gradually expand the area they live in.
This opening drama tells the legend of one of the Five Phoenixes, the blue bird, which carried a branch in its mouth and landed to give birth to a country.
During the Plantagenet dynasty, there was a clear rule that all theaters had to set aside one-tenth of their performances to be serious dramas, that is, plays about the legend of the Five Phoenixes, as well as various figures and classic stories from the early years of the dynasty.
Now, after the opening play is over, the curtain slowly lowers on the stage, and after a short break, tonight's entertainment drama begins.
"The white deer sings in the wild, the jade rings make clear sounds, waiting for my beloved, standing alone in the snow." The narration's voice is distant and sighing, as if there is sadness and nostalgia.
Snowflakes created by extraordinary magic fell from the empty and high dome, and then the curtain slowly opened, revealing a figure standing with his back to the audience.
The background is the barren and endless land and wilderness, with snow and dead grass all over the sky, which is particularly bleak and lonely.
After the narration ended, the figure on the platform turned around and began to chant, chanting the beginning and past of this ancient story.
The story is about a scholar who was born in the south, passed the imperial examination, and went to the north to join the army. Later, he met a woman from a tribe in this wilderness. The two fell in love, but were later forced to separate.
Although such a story seemed a bit old-fashioned to Loran Hill, the love story between the dignified scholar and the rough and lively foreign woman in the conservative dynasty was still very novel and attractive, and many people watched it with great interest.
As the plot deepened step by step, the audience gradually forgot the grandeur and magnificence they had felt when appreciating the Legend of the Five Phoenixes, and began to immerse themselves in the continuity and beauty of love. However, the young girl sitting in the audience still had the story of the Blue Bird in her mind.
What exactly is that three-faced, six-armed bronze giant? Why was he able to defeat one of the five powerful phoenixes in the past? What do the branches and leaves in the blue bird's mouth represent? Why did that failure make her so sad?
